Democratic socialist Francesca Hong has former child star, OnlyFans model in senior campaign role: report

Former child actress and OnlyFans model Renee Olstead is reportedly serving in a senior role on Wisconsin state Rep. Francesca Hong’s gubernatorial campaign ahead of next week’s Democratic primary.

Olstead, who also goes by Renee Faust, is serving as Hong’s deputy campaign manager, according to The Heartland Post. Hong, a Democratic socialist, is among the candidates competing in next week’s Democratic gubernatorial primary.

The outlet reported that Olstead has worked as a paid campaign operative since at least January. Her X bio reads “HONG 4 GOV” and links to Hong’s get-out-the-vote page.

Her social media account also features photos from campaign events, and The Heartland Post reported that she has coordinated logistics for high-profile surrogates, including streamer and political commentator Hasan Piker.

Fox News Digital asked Hong’s campaign to confirm Olstead’s title and responsibilities, when she began working for the campaign, whether she is a paid employee and her qualifications for the role. The campaign responded with a statement but did not directly address each question.

“Renee Faust is a licensed mental health clinician who has spent her career providing care to trafficking survivors,” the campaign said. “Since joining the campaign in December, she has helped build the largest grassroots campaign in Wisconsin history. The right-wing politicians attacking her are the same ones who want government dictating women’s health care decisions.”

Olstead previously founded the Coalition for American Sex Workers (CASW – LOCAL 304), which advocates for decriminalization and other policy changes affecting sex workers.

Last year, Hong and three other state representatives presented Olstead with an official Wisconsin State Assembly citation recognizing her advocacy for sex workers’ rights and her selection as “Penthouse Pet of the Year” in 2024.

Reality Bites: Socialist NYC Mayor Mamdani Turns To Capitalist Bankers For Help

After socialist New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani went after Citadel’s Ken Griffin, created a property database of wealthy homeowners that makes the list easily accessible to “Luigi-worshipping leftist thugs,” and endlessly bashed America and capitalism, all while his friend, Democratic Socialists of America’s unofficial spokesperson Hasan Piker, called on his followers to “kill capitalists in the streets” and other DSA members called for the destruction of America from within, the far-left NYC mayor, who is running into roadblocks, has called on capitalist bankers for help.

Piker in his own words: “KiII those motherf**kers and murder those motherf**kers in the streets. Let the streets soak in their f**king red capitalist blood.” 

Bloomberg reports that Mamdani is seeking top capitalist bankers for a new business advisory council as he attempts to mend relations with Wall Street after spewing dangerous rhetoric against the very people who make the city go ’round.

Those invited include former UBS Americas Chief Executive Officer Robert Wolf, former Lazard investment-banking chief Antonio Weiss, and Bank of America’s New York City President Jose Tavarez, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Communist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Given a New Nickname as Details Emerge Regarding His Remarkably ‘Thin-Skinned’ Behavior Behind Closed Doors

It turns out that Marxist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who presents himself as a smiling, smooth-talking salesman, is quite a different person behind the scenes. And it has spawned a new nickname which he won’t like.

The New York Post dropped a remarkable story on Thursday night, which extensively describes a mayor who becomes a nasty bully when things do not go his way.

The paper notes that Mamdani is easily angered not only by press criticism but also by people who dare to utter unflattering words toward him in public.

Mamdani even places personal phone calls to politicians he thinks will back off their attacks and eventually bow to him.

From the Post:

Social media-savvy Mayor Zohran Mamdani is developing a reputation IRL as “thin-skinned” and hyper-sensitive to public criticism, despite hyping himself online as a smiling and unflappable politician, scores of insiders spilled to The Post.

Behind the scenes, Hizzoner huffily badgers critics who dare question him publicly, harbors petty grudges against prominent pols, and often only responds to texts when he’s miffed about bad press, according to interviews with more than a dozen elected officials, consultants, and other politicos.

“I see more and more he cannot handle criticism, but mainly from elected officials who he thinks he can push around,” one political consultant said.

“The mayor personally reaches out when electeds criticizes him publicly. If they speak, then he cares. He cares because he doesn’t want bad press. It shows a sensitivity.”

A major sore spot for the narcissistic mayor is when he hears Jewish New Yorkers taking issue with his attacks on Israel. As we all know, Mamdani despises the Jewish State and has threatened to have Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu arrested.

Sources said the mayor personally called at least one elected official who attended the news conference, complaining about being told to tone down his rhetoric — and upset that their exhortation was connected to his video branding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war criminal,” which was posted days before the attack.

NYC Democrat operatives and politicians went on to describe Mamdani as someone who uses his phone as “a security blanket” while obsessing over how many lies he gets on an X post.

Chris Cuomo Tries to Play Dumb on DSA Radicals: ‘Who’s a Communist?’

During a conversation about the rise of the DSA on NewsNation, Chris Cuomo tried to play dumb, asking Bill O’Reilly, ‘Who’s a communist?’

O’Reilly schooled him and you can read and watch their exchange below.

This is an important moment to remember. From now until November, there will be numerous exchanges like this one, where a liberal media type will completely downplay the DSA, their goals, and their own words.

Multiple high ranking members of the DSA are on camera saying that communism is the ultimate goal of their movement.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

CHRIS CUOMO: Look, we see this all the time, which is: in the primary, we hate each other, but then when it’s against the other guys, especially in this toxic to some that are talk, party politics is we got to come together. Because the last thing we want is, you know, as Democrats would say, is another Trumper, especially in a blue seat. So, I don’t understand that motivation.

BILL O’REILLY: Then I will enlighten you.

CUOMO: Please.

O’REILLY: There’s hasn’t been, in my lifetime, a movement as radical as a Bernie-Sanders-led progressive movement. This took me by surprise on – Two years ago, if you were to say ‘Hey, there’s going to be a big communist element and it’s going to get traction.’ I would have went, ‘what are you talking about Albania?’

CUOMO (interrupting): But who’s a communist? Who’s a communist? Who? Who’s a columnist?

O’REILLY: The means of production is what people like Mamdani want to control. All you got to do is look it up. Okay, the means of production. They wants to control that

Democratic Socialists Openly Call For The Erasure Of Constitutional Government

Joseph McCarthy was right about everything. Communist movements have been playing the long game from inside western nations, exploiting the liberal freedoms westerners enjoy as a backdoor to sabotage free market choice and constitutional checks and balances from within. The players might have changed over the decades, but the ideological goals remain the same.

Forget about the “false left/right paradigm”; that concept is now dead. Whatever logical clarity or loyalty to the American way that average progressives might have had is long gone. They have detached completely from morality and ideals of merit and responsibility. They are financially backed by some of the most evil NGOs and globalist corporations on the planet. They have ties to some of the most despicable and oppressive governments in the world.

The political left is the monster they claim to be fighting against. They are the foot soldiers of the globalist order. They are the greatest existing threat to western civilization. To be “right wing” today simply means your principles sit to the right of Stalin and Mao. It doesn’t take much deviation to find yourself a mortal enemy of the leftist fold.

Furthermore, these groups are intricately organized and operating using classic communist subversion tactics commonly used throughout Europe from the 1920s to the 1990s. This includes front organizations, labor infiltration, agitation, influence operations, paramilitary training and mass propaganda.

Mamdani Reverses Policy Requiring Govt. ID to Buy His Food

Communist New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani abruptly reversed his policy of requiring government ID to purchase food in his government-run supermarkets.

Even funnier is that, although we have it all on video, he’s now pretending that was never his policy. Remember, communists will tell any lie necessary to further the agenda. Communists have no ethics other than doing whatever is necessary to bring about the revolution. So, Mamdani is perfectly comfortable lying, knowing he will have the help of corrupt, far-left media outlets like the Associated Press, who publish lying fact checks, like this one, that brazenly and happily lie on his behalf.

Here is what  Jeanny Pak, the Interim President & CEO of NYC Economic Development Corporation, told the world during a Monday press conference with the Mayor standing a few feet away…

Yes, if you look at our RFP [Request for Proposals] for the operator, we are looking to make sure that we target New Yorkers, whether it be [through] a sort of a library card-esque [system], and also, we manage who’s buying and that it’s focused on everyday New Yorkers. So, we are mindful of that, and we’re going to make sure that we have all the things in place to ensure that that does not happen.

Socialist Mamdani Purges Business Leaders From Key NYC Fund

Radical socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has purged a longstanding advisory board of business and civic leaders.

The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City is a city-affiliated 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises private donations to support public programs and City Hall priorities by partnering with agencies, philanthropies, and community groups.

According to Bloomberg News, Mamdani sent letters thanking the advisory board members for their service. A separate communication from the fund stated that the entire board of advisers would be disbanded.

The New York Post reports:

It’s raised hundreds of millions since its 1995 inception – including a staggering $107 million to support family members of rescue workers killed or injured in the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.

During the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the fund raised $54.5 million for an emergency relief fund that covered meals and personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers.

But Mamdani started eroding the fund’s lucrative business connections as soon as he took office in April, appointing a former dockworker and a high school teacher to serve on the fund’s board of directors.

In April 2026, Mamdani started to overhaul the Fund’s Board of Directors, shifting it away from lucrative corporate and business leadership toward working New Yorkers and progressive advocates.

He added a Bronx public school teacher, a former longshoreman/UAW organizer, and his own chief of staff, Elle Bisgaard-Church, as chair.

Nervous Chuck Schumer Dodges Questions About Endorsing Socialist Michigan Senate Candidate in General Election and Whether Rise of DSA is Good for Party

America’s top-ranking Democrat, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), is running away as the Democratic Socialists of America storm his party. 

Schumer on Tuesday fielded questions from reporters during a weekly press conference, where he was asked about his party’s DSA wing and once again dodged the questions.

A reporter asked about tonight’s Michigan Senate primary between Schumer-backed Haley Stevens and far-left DSA-aligned Abdul El-Sayed, and whether Schumer would endorse the winner if El-Sayed emerges victorious.

El-Sayed has denied that he is a socialist, but he’s attended and spoken at at least six DSA events over the years, according to Fox.

“I’m not technically or practically DSA,” he claimed in an interview last month. “I am not somebody who is a socialist. I believe in capitalism; I just believe that capitalism has to be regulated.” He’s also been described as “a longtime friend of Detroit DSA” during a 2019 event where he was photographed with Socialist Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

Schumer responded with a complete non-answer. “Bottom line, we are going to win Michigan, take back the Senate, and have a majority,” he said before enthusiastically moving on to take a question from CNN’s Manu Raju.

Raju, however, asked an equally daunting question for the Senate Minority Leader: Is the rise of the DSA good for your party?

Far-Left Influencer Hasan Piker Campaigning in Wisconsin: ‘A Republican Will Never be Elected in This State Ever Again’

Hasan Piker, the far-left influencer who has praised Mao Zedong and promoted multiple DSA candidates in this election season, was campaigning with Francesca Hong in Wisconsin this week.

While speaking to a crowd, he said that when their movement is done, “a Republican will never be elected in this state ever again.”

He repeatedly invokes the ‘working class’ which is ironic considering that the DSA has hardly any working class members and promotes policies that would harm working people more than anyone else.

The Daily Wire reports:

The frontrunner to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for governor in Wisconsin appeared alongside a radical leftist streamer who has argued that America “deserved” 9/11 and called for a Republican senator to be killed.

Francesca Hong, who has called for the police to be abolished, campaigned alongside Hasan Piker and leftist Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) during a rally in Milwaukee on Sunday. During the rally, Piker claimed that no Republican would ever be elected in Wisconsin ever again after the far-Left accomplished its goals.

“The good people of Wisconsin always knew that this wasn’t about scary ideas, and it was just about a working-class movement that wanted to help out one another,” he said. “A Republican will never be elected in this state ever again, once our movement is done.”

Piker, who has millions of followers across his social media, previously said that America “deserved” 9/11, argued that “you would kill [Florida GOP Senator] Rick Scott” if “you cared about Medicaid fraud,” and called for the streets to “soak” in “red capitalist blood.”

Race Called: Islamo-Marxist Abdul El-Sayed Beats So-Called Moderate Haley Stevens in Michigan Senate Race

NBC has officially called the Michigan Senate race for far-left Democratic Socialist Abdul El-Sayed.

Islamo-Marxist Abdul El-Sayed appears on track to defeat the so-called moderate Democrat in the Michigan Democratic Primary for Senator. 

Stevens was backed by Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Senator Chuck Schumer.

El-Sayed will now face former Rep. Mike Rogers, who ran unopposed in the GOP primary, in the November general election.

El-Sayed has denied that he is a socialist, but he’s attended and spoken at at least six DSA events over the years, according to Fox.

“I’m not technically or practically DSA,” he claimed in an interview last month. “I am not somebody who is a socialist. I believe in capitalism; I just believe that capitalism has to be regulated.” He’s also been described as “a longtime friend of Detroit DSA” during a 2019 event where he was photographed with Socialist Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
